east OF Norris by telegraph pole laid across
the track by train wreckers, and two men were
killed. The dead William Orth, the fire.

ants was TO wreck the Kansas City express,

press, was terribly wrecked, ana eight cars
of merchandise piled up in an indesciibable
heap Of ruins. Fireman Orth was first found
jammed in between the tender and boiler head
where he had been caught in the attempt TO
jump off. He was horribly mangled, the whole
top OF his head being torn off, and his heart
liver and fntestines torn out. Engineer Mills
was found under the boiler head near his seat
in the cab. His skull was fractured and his
body horribly scalded by the escaping steam.
